The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has secured all 12 luxury vehicles linked to the Discaya family following a court-ordered search operation at the Pasig City headquarters of St. Gerrard Construction General Contractor and Development Corp.

Earlier in the day, the BOC recovered two vehicles — a Toyota LC300 3.3 V6 ZX AT SUV 2024 and a Maserati Levante Modena 2022. By evening, seven more units, including a Rolls Royce Cullinan 2023, Bentley Bentayga, Brabus G-Wagon, Mercedes AMG G 63 SUV 2022, Toyota Tundra 2022, Toyota Sequoia, and Cadillac Escalade ESV 2021, were surrendered to the BOC.

The remaining three vehicles — a Mercedes Benz G 500 SUV 2019, GMC Yukon Denali SUV 2022, and Lincoln Navigator L 2024 — are currently in service centers for repair and will be turned over to the agency. All 12 vehicles have since been sealed and placed under 24/7 guard by BOC and Philippine Coast Guard personnel.

Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno stressed that any irregularities in the vehicles’ importation records will result in full tax collection and legal action under the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA). He thanked the DOTr-LTO, PNP, HPG, PCG, and Barangay Bambang officials for their assistance, underscoring that the operation is in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to intensify anti-smuggling efforts and protect government revenues.
